Artificial Intelligence (AI) was one of the bigger draws at CES, with the Rabbit R1 getting particular attention.
Designed to work as a virtual assistant, its big idea is simplicity, being equipped with only a combined scroll wheel/push-to-talk button plus a rotatable camera. Instead of using apps to perform tasks, you simply ask the Rabbit to do them instead. It’s a neat idea that goes way beyond Siri.

or tech watchers, January means one thing and one thing only: the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and a trip to Las Vegas. Once there, attendees can discover all kinds of weird and wonderful gadgets, spot emerging tech trends and discover what some of the world’s biggest companies plan to waggle under our noses over the year ahead. As usual, Apple was conspicuous by its absence, but that didn’t stop it from being the talk of the show – and not solely because it announced the on-sale date of its new Vision Pro (see p10) just as CES delegates were gathering.
